Chapter Ninety-Eight: Happy New Year

Today's training was canceled, and the afternoon was dismissed one class earlier, and everyone sat in the classroom absent-mindedly, and the teacher became very reasonable and did not invite the students to the office because they were deserting in class. Today is December 31, 1999, and tomorrow will be the 21st century.

"Millennium?" Zhang Jun looked at Sophie who was smiling.

"Don't you know?"

"All I know is that the twentieth century is coming to an end, and the twenty-first century is coming."

"So you're stupid!" Yang Pan patted Zhang Jun's head on the side.

Sophie packed her schoolbag and illiteracy for this ignorant young man who cared nothing about "world events": "2000 is the beginning of the 21st century, and 1999 is the end of the 20th century. But not only that, 1999 is also the end of a millennium, that is, the end of 10 centuries, and 1,000 years have passed since the beginning of 1000. At the turn of the century and the turn of the millennium, what a rare opportunity you think! But let's run into it, good luck! ”

"Oh." Zhang Jun nodded and understood, "No wonder people are so excited these days, isn't it just a New Year?" It turns out that there is still this meaning in it. ”

"Don't you ever watch TV?"

"Look! Why not look? I watched the Bundesliga, Serie A, the Premier League, and football nights! Zhang Jun said with his fingers twisted.

"Humph!" Sophie gave Zhang Jun a back.

"Today, the TV will broadcast the global celebration of the millennium from 6 p.m., and it will be broadcast live for 24 hours." Yang Pan said.

"Oh, oh, that's why school ends so early today, so everyone goes back to watch TV! Aren't you going to your grandmother's house, though, Sophie? ”

"yes, I'm watching it at my grandmother's house! A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how could I miss it? "Sophie was bouncing around like a bunny in front of her.

"Listen to you, don't you watch?" Yang Pan asked Zhang Jun, "You don't seem to be very interested in this!" ”

"Who said that? Why don't I look? I guess it's all this show by then, what don't I watch? ”

A family of three, a hearty meal, tomorrow is the New Year. Zhang Jun threw the last piece of back-pot meat on the plate into his mouth, which was the last piece of back-pot meat eaten in the twentieth century. Thinking so, he took all the rice in the bowl into his mouth, the last bite of food he had eaten in the twentieth century. The last bite of the twentieth century. The last soup of the twentieth century......

The TV was full of lively programs, and the residents of the small Fijian island and tourists from all over the world were singing and dancing to welcome the first dawn of the new century.

Zhang Jun's eyes are not off the TV screen, but his mind is not on it.

Sophie's family went to Grandma's house in the old town for the New Year. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so bored now, would I?

I've known her for over a year. Over the past year or so, a lot has really happened! Life is wonderful, if I hadn't come to the light of day; If I hadn't met her; If I hadn't heard the phrase "Because I love football!" ”; If she is not the manager of the team; If I didn't like football at first, what would I be now? What are you doing?

But, fortunately, fortunately, there are not so many ifs in this world. I love football and met Sophie because she didn't give up on football and won the championship to participate in the national competition. Most of all, I love Sophie......

"Dear viewers and friends, this exciting time is finally coming! There are still 20 seconds left before 0:00, and we in China are about to step into the 21st century! Let's count down the time, it's a new century! Fourteen! A baker's dozen! Twelve! Eleven! Ten! Nine! Eight ......"

Zhang Jun picked up the phone next to him and put his hand on the keyboard.

“…… Seven! Six ......"

He started dialing.

“…… Five! Four! Three! Two! One! Zero! The twenty-first century is coming! The new millennium is coming! ”

But Zhang Jun only had the busy sound of the phone in his ears, "Toot toot toot!" Toot toot toot! Toot ...... "Busy." He listened to it for a long time before he put down the earpiece very unwillingly.

"Happy New Year! Happy New Century! The TV came with the host's greeting, but Sophie's ears were only busy with the phone, busy. She listened for a long time, and finally put down the phone very reluctantly.

As soon as Zhang Jun put down the phone, the phone rang, and he picked up the phone excitedly: "Hey! ”

"Happy New Year!" It was Yang Pan's voice.

Zhang Jun pouted: "Happy New Year." ”

"Hah! I'm hanging! I'm going to call someone else! ”

Then it's busy again.

Zhang Jun threw the phone back. But the phone rang again.

"Hello?"

"Happy New Year! Zhang Jun. ”

Zhang Jun was stunned: "Are you?" ”

"I can't hear anyone? If you win the championship, you won't recognize anyone? ”

"Ape!"

"Exactly, hehe!"

"Excuse me, Happy New Year!"

"Well, you wait, Liu Peng is here with me, and he will also talk to you."

"Happy New Year!" It was Liu Peng's voice.

"Happy New Year, Liu Peng!"

"Hah! Zhang Jun, do you remember? Going to get a national championship on winter break, right? ”

"Remember, never forget. Go get a national victory, and even you and the apes have a share. ”

"Well, don't break your word! Well, without further ado, the phone is blowing up, and the ape has to call his mother monkey......"

"You're going to die!" Yuan Gang's voice came from the phone, "Zhang Jun, don't listen to his nonsense!" What female monkey? You should call your sister-in-law! ”

"Good!" Listening to the voice, Liu Peng was resisting Yuan Gang's ferocious attack, "It's really a monkey, the claws are so powerful!" Okay, I won't talk about it, Zhang Jun, apes have female monkeys...... Ah! You have to hurry up and work hard! ”

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Jun leaned back on the sofa, thinking that Yuan Gang must still be messing with Liu Peng. Didn't I come with them like this before? Now even Yuan Gang has a girlfriend, time flies so fast, everyone has grown up......

Dad answered the phone, judging from the words, it should be his apprentice Chen Huafeng calling. My mother also made a few phone calls, which were to the customers in the business, to give them New Year's greetings.

Unconsciously, twenty minutes passed, and the phone at home finally quieted down, Zhang Jun reached for the phone again, thinking about whether the call would still be busy at this time, and at this moment, the phone rang.

Pick up the microphone: "Hello? ”

"Happy New Year!" This time it's Li Yongle.

Zhang Jun had an idea, that is, he wanted to throw the phone out. "Happy New Year." He replied lazily.

"When I played just now, my hand was slow, the line was busy, and I was busy, right?"

"Hmm."

"Work hard in the new year! Go for the national victory, but don't go home empty-handed! ”

"Hey, hey! This national championship is not something that can be won just by taking it! ”

"My opponent can't be so bad, go and win the national championship, and then wait for me to heal from my injury, and then come back to you to get it back!"

Putting down the phone again, everyone said they wanted to win the national championship, but that wasn't just the right thing to say. Really, anyone can move their mouths!

Zhang Jun leaned back on the sofa and suddenly remembered what Sophie said to him face to face. "Go get a national victory, okay?"

Is it just talking? Do you want to talk about it? Then why can't I give up as soon as I hear her words? Since she said so, let's really go and win a national championship herself......

Mom and Dad had already gone to bed, Zhang Jun pressed the remote control, and was ready to go back to the bedroom. Then, he heard the phone ring.

He was stunned for a moment, and waited for the phone to ring four times before he hurriedly picked it up: "Hey? ”

"Happy New Year, Zhang Jun!"

Zhang Jun took a deep breath: "New ...... Happy New Year, Sophie. ”

"I'll call you, busy."

"Well, I know."

Then there was silence. After a long time, Sophie's voice sounded again: "Hey? Zhang Jun, are you still there? ”

"Ah, yes! It's still there! ”

"What time is it?"

Zhang Jun looked up at the clock on the wall: "Thirty-five." Then he heard Sophie clear her throat.

"It's a new year."

"Yes, it's New Year."

"It's a millennium."

"Yes, Millennium."

"There hasn't been any snow this winter."

"That's right, El Niño."

"Zhang Jun ......"

"Hmm."

"I love you......"

"Huh? This ......"

"It's not love, it's love. Zhang Jun, I love you! ”

Zhang Jun felt that he had received the best New Year's gift of the year. He buried his head deeply, only to feel that his heart was beating fast, and soon, he almost gasped. Sophie tapped every word on his chest.

Sophie didn't respond for a long time, and she didn't know what was wrong.

"Zhang Jun, Zhang Jun, are you listening?" Her slightly anxious words pulled Zhang Jun's fluttering seven souls and six spirits back into her body.

Zhang Jun wiped the tears from his face, he was so embarrassed that he actually cried......

"Yes, I'm listening, Sophie."

"Then why don't you speak?"

"I ...... I'm not sure, I thought I was dreaming, I was afraid that I would wake up as soon as I spoke, I ......"

"I love you."

Sophie's voice was so gentle, yet so firm, that she didn't hesitate.

At 0:41 on January 1, 2000, our Zhang Jun experienced the greatest and greatest happiness in his 17 years.

Happiness came so suddenly that his mind was a little confused. That day, his eyes were kept open until dawn......

At 0:41 a.m. on January 1, 2000, our Sophie finally got that out of her mouth. Then he smiled and had one of the most beautiful dreams in years......
